Court approves jail care coordination interlocal with MHMR Concho Valley

The Commissioners Court voted to approve an interlocal cooperation agreement with MHMR of the Concho Valley to fund jail care coordination for people the county has determined to be incompetent to stand trial and to fund short-term medication needs during treatment transfers. Greg Groh introduced the agreement and described its purpose: to provide medication funding and coordination for individuals transferred to state hospitals and during competency processes. "It's not a lot, but it is available when needed," Groh said, referencing roughly $1,800 in available funding to cover medications in the short term.
